By the way, I hope nobody’s going to debate anymore as far as whether we’re getting our money’s wrorth from George, are we?

I’ve run into Cheli on three different occasions over the years, he’s been just like you described every time. A dude’s dude.

Personal favorite was catching he and Vedder coming out of a suite at Wrigley back in ‘02 following a Cubs game. Both guys stopped to shake hands and say hello rather than trucking it to the limo. Eddie got a big kick out of my Old Style fueled introduction to Cheli as being a Detroiter while I practically hugged the dude off the cat-walk for helping bring us a cup.

To quote George from this morning:
“Per your requests, I’m going to focus much more on speaking to the Wigns’ brass as several of you have asked me to speak to Jiri Fischer, Chris Chelios (good luck with that one, folks, he’s sneaky about getting away from people holding sound recorders),...”

Chelios is a WONDERFULLY friendly, approachable, affable and kind man when you do not approach him with a sound recorder. If you have a digital sound recorder in your hand, you become a hive of scum and villainy.
